This handsome fellow (still a young lad btw) is part of my RIR breeding pen, hope you likey! he also has maran and white sussex for sexed chicks 
I also have a breeding pen of L/F Welsummers who lay conker brown eggs, I am looking forward to hatching more of these, they are such pretty hens 
the 24 egg incy will be started up soon, and I have one reliable broody hen    lets hope the snow goes soon so we can start getting the runs tidied up

A very hansom chap he is to Mays.

[Mammyshaz]

He is very handsome  do you also sell sexlink  hatching eggs? ( incubator here from Santa  )

[Mays]

yes indeed mammyshaz!
I can provide a mix of:
Maran x RIR (produces a blackrock type hen)
White Sussex x RIR (produces a standard warren type hen)
Cream Legbar x RIR (produces an olive egg layer hen) I retained a few of these cockerels to maturity last year to see how they turned out, they were Redbbarred, and truly stunning looking bird.

[Mammyshaz]

Thanks for that. I was looking at the end of Feb to start hatching so will keep you in mind for then.  We are very new to this as only kept a few hybrids for a couple of years so thinking sexlink would give us a helping hand. I would love to keep a cockerel when I see some of the stunning photos but our contract clearly states No Cockerels    .

He's lovely. 


We have a utility line RIR cockerel who is a real gent to his hens and very good around people. He keeps all our smaller cockerels in line without any real aggression. Very calm and docile.

Hi,a loverly looking Lad

[Big Light]

Nice Bird do you have any photos of your welsummer eggs, i have a nice dark brown with a speckle on my welsummers eggs  but always keeping an  eye out for something of a similar quality

[Anke]

Mays - do you sell hatching eggs from your pure RIR's? I am actually after a RIR cockerel later this year to breed to my (mostly) copper maran hens next year , so if you breed any this year, can you keep a cockerel?
 
But I do have an 24 egg incubator too, can hatch myself.

[NormandyMary]

He is a real stunner! I really wish you were this side of the Channel as I would love to own some RIR's.

[Mays]

indeed Anke, i can save you a good cockerel & bring him down to you at one of the shows probably, and Mary if I ever get a chance to holiday in France I will bring some with me 
I'll get some pics of the welly eggs soon
